Dixie's Story
Dixie currently lives in Cape Town, South Africa. She has spent 10 of the past 13 years in South Africa which makes her feel a 'foreigner' when the odd day finds her in the US. She moved back to the US a couple of times in this 13-year period and, eventually decided that Cape Town is the most stunning, natural, beautiful place on earth so, stayed.
Last week she registered to complete a Master's in Education Curriculum Studies at the University of Cape Town. Professionally, she works as a corporate training & development consultant. You can advanced search "google" her if you have the inclination.

Cape Town keeps her sane (sort of) and, she doesn't smoke cigarettes anymore. She lives for the sunset or moon rise over the oceans (Cape Town has 2 - Indian/Atlantic) and delicious, nourishing food either made herself or in some obscure vegie space.
By the way, Sabrina (bri) and Dixie keep in touch regularly. Bri lives in Costa Rica and somehow they stay connected - as soul-sisters do. Bri has been to SA two times for a visit - nearly moved there herself but, settled on Costa Rica a couple of years ago.
